great first few episodes, downhill ever after
- great acting, let down by a terrible script (plot and character development) in the second half of the series.
- i was unsure whether to watch this because i didn’t want another disappointingly mediocre drama after King the Land, but I was surprised by how strong the first episode was. sadly, every subsequent episode gets weaker. it becomes like king the land where the scriptwriter uses a string of cliches-for-plot at the cost of character development and tension
- FL: in what world would a crop top and a mini skirt be suitable attire for the workplace? the styling was so off.
- the cast of mums are boring af. there’s so little character development that when they do have a plot line or dialogue, they end up being complete caricatures even though the premise - that mothers should have a career path too - is interesting
- the 2ML has a haircut that looks like the 1980s black american aunty haircut. get a haircut, my guy
- 2FL was fun & refreshing as a character - not jealous, not overly attached, confident & self assured, but also slightly obnoxious in pushing herself on to the 2ML & meddling
- ML’s mum was kind of interesting, but my interest fizzled out
- the swimming pool scene: why the hell is it presented as romantic that the ML dived in to save the FL, when the ML dropping her hard work into the pool is why she was there in the first place given he already knew she can’t swim?! get out of here.
it’s a better version of king the land (which was shite) for the first half at least and then it’s as shite as it for the second half.
